    Whats the deal with the unpainted hoods?

    Is there something somewhere stating that an unpainted hood makes the car go faster?? If so i have never heard about it. I cant understand why these people are putting the hoods on with now means to paint them. Please if someone knows something let me know its just a disgrace to mustangs all over and i cant take it. If it increases HP let me know and i'll get on the phone with cervini's. thanks
